[color:"yellow"]Hey lo`, im new to this forum and i must say that divine divinity is a very nice game.[/color]
Welcome to the forums!
[color:"yellow"]So to start, im gonna write down so many ideas (And requests) at once <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> -
*1. Leveling System - No!!! I hate the current level up system, its boring and unoriginal! Please change that to something better (50 was a too low level for divine divinity, 99 maybe for this one? as most rpgs have that high <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)[/color]
Are there any specific ideas you have? The skill system has been greatly revamped for
Beyond Divinity. There are various ways to learn skills now.
[color:"yellow"]2. A quest based on lord of the rings story... That would be just plain cool![/color]
And unoriginal and out of place. It could be an easter egg though. Larian are a fan of those (along with the rest of us). Frodo's sword, Sting, was included in
Divine Divinity (sort of). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
[color:"yellow"]*3. Make the game moddable!! - Oh yes, so players will enjoy playing it even more like people do playing d2:lod nowadays, its just endless![/color]
That would be good. We've seen pictures of the game editor that Larian are using. How much more would it take to make it a free download?
[color:"yellow"]4. I dont remember, but does Divine Divinity have any socketing system? like, so you could put gem/jewels/runes into the items and make them have better stats, if not.. then please <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />[/color]
Divine Divinity has Charms and items have Charm Quality. You need the
Enchant Weapon skill to utilise this.
[color:"yellow"]5. (a question and an idea based on it) The new story/script engine... how is it going to work? completely randomly? - Now for example if it is randomly, maybe you should try to make your decisions count even more? Like, if you piss off an NPC he might as well kill you, or give you other quest other than the one he was supposed to give you.. and other things like that. Basically, i would like to be immersed into a giant world with an immersive story! [/color]
That would be nice, but very difficult for Larian to control. They have a story they'd like to share and if too many variables are introduced, you might never be able to finish the game! This is better suited to a MMORPG where the world and the quests can be dynamically altered. It's bound to come! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
[color:"yellow"]6. The ability to transport between worlds gives me another funny idea - All kinds of worlds like Anime World, Movie World, Game World (Meet other characters from other games, lol... that would be just plain hilarious).[/color]
Look for a game coming out called
Psychotoxic.
[color:"yellow"]*7. How cant we think of mini-games? the best thing in a game must be a good mini-game! How about, a lava gliding mini game? Hell casino <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />) Oh come on, this will make me want to play beyond divinity SO MUCH MORE! like it would make everyone else![/color]
Bleah! Old rehashed crap. (Personal opinion.)
[color:"yellow"]8. More character indepth - I dont like what most rpgs lack, i want to be immersed in the character development, what he's feeling.. What's his past, What's the future...[/color]
The future is what you make it. The past is usually one of three things: What you make it, a 10 minute intro movie, or amnesia. Personally, I think the third is a cop-out. A real RPG would be the first one. Perhaps with more skill selection option at the start you could kind of have the first option?
[color:"yellow"]*9. Multiplayer - Multiple Multiplay choices ranging from questing/dueling...[/color]
Coming soon in
Divine Divinity 2! If you call 2005 soon...
Good ideas you've got there. Just 'cos I didn't like some of them doesn't mean they're bad. Keep them coming! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
